What is a FAL???

• FAL=Formative Assessment Lesson

• Engaging STUDENT oriented/focused lesson.

• Teachers DON’T TEACH; they facilitate. You are not on

stage anymore!

• Develops MATH PRACTICES & build relationships

among math content

• Structured Lesson with specific components

• Assessment AS learning

FAL cycle

Pre-Assessment

Individual Attempt

Group/Partner Attempt

Discuss possible

methods of solving

Post-Assessment

Student debrief on various ways

to solve (if applicable)

Very powerful for student

learning

Administer day before

scheduled FAL

Administer after

discussion of methods

Why FAL’s?• FAL’s incorporates

Highly Effective Teaching & Learning (HETL), Assessment Literacy, & KY Core Academic Standards for Math (KCASM).

• They can be engaging and rigorous.(Imagine that: FUN and Demanding!)

• Math the Weird Beast

• Math relationships, not a series of steps!

Time to “FAL”

• Time to be a kid again!• Experiencing 1st

person=understanding

Formative Assessment Lessons (FALs)

Caterpillars and LeavesAdaptable for Grades K-3

K.NBT.1: Compose & Decompose numbers from 11-19…K.OA: Understanding addition as putting together and subtraction as taking apart….

1.OA.1: Use addition & subtraction within 20 to solve word problems….

2.OA.1: Use addition & subtraction within 100 to solve word problems…

3.OA.8: Solve word problems using the four operations…

Pre-Assessment• Give the day before FAL is planned• 10-15 minute time allotment • NO ASSISTANCE, unless accommodations are

required (reader) • Use this to group responses homogeneously.

(classify answers into categories of understanding: each FAL will outline these typical areas of understanding)

Page 12: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Framing the Lesson

• Framing the FAL is critical.• Direct student attention to the content to set

their thinking. • Introduce FAL to the students.

Page 13: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Individual Attempt

• Allow students to view problem(s). • 7-10 minutes• Only allow students to develop plan of attack

to solve.• DO NOT allow them to solve the problem

completely.• NO HELP!!! (accommodations need to be met)

Page 14: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Collaborative Learning

• Ask for needs of clarification. • Group students according to pre-assessment

results. (typically no more than 4-5). • Use group responsibilities/jobs to involve all in

group.• About 15 minutes. No wasting time!• Monitor, not teach. Assist strugglers with

questions, not answers

Page 15: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Evaluating Sample Responses

• What do you like about the work?• How has each student organized the work?• What mistakes have been made?• What is NOT clear?• What questions do you want to ask the

student?• In what ways might the work be improved?

Page 16: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Whole Group Discussion• 10-20 minutes• May need management structure for positive

discourse.• Allow students to discuss their answers and processes

to solve.• Based on conferring & during work times, you may

need to target specific groups to provide correct thinking/strategy.

• You may provide an alternate strategy if needed to focus thinking.

• Also allows them to walk away with the satisfaction of having a correct answer.

Page 17: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Post Assessment

• 10-15 minutes• Return students original pre-assessment and

allow them to correct/change/modify answer. (may just give them a clean pre-assessment instead of their original).

• NO help, only accommodations.

Page 18: Formative Assessment Lessons (FAL) Bullitt County August Days 2012 Patrick Durham Instructional Coach BCPS

Updated Thinking/Debriefing

• 5-10 min/Remainder of class session, may go to next day if needed.

• Student/Teacher discourse over new/updated thinking. Develops deep connections for students. Also allows them to walk away with the satisfaction of having a correct answer.
